If you want to continue w/those skills you can look into Structures in CE. They do some carpentry work and some metal work. Vehicle Maintenance in Logistics, Small Engine repair in AGE are mechanical jobs, just to name a few. Both of those AFSCs have a fairly high deployment rate. I am sure there are a few folks on the boards that could elaborate on these jobs...I know one guy that here that used to do AGE. I'll see if I can round him up for you.

If there is something else that peaks your interest, ask us now. I know these folks would love to help you make an informed decision before you sign. Being happy with your job is what really makes it fun.

By high deployment, do you mean lots of jobs, or high chance for going over seas?

Air Transportation USAF.. Basicly like the Post Office/Public AirPort on Steriods.. like today we loaded like 300 Tons of Cargo, including 2 bulletproof tacomas, and a couple humves.. along with like 40 pallets..

Plus the garenteed paycheck, free health insurace, money to cover rent and food, and oppurtunity to travel the world.. ( and not just iraq and Afghanastan)

i say look into all the diff jobs, it's the military and there are so many unique jobs that are only avail in the service. so what if it doesn't transfer into the civilian world. do what interests you and whats gonna make you happy. like said above, look into the "cool guy jobs" if you have the desire and drive for that kind of work, i loved getting paid to jump out of planes, dive and sleep in the snow

I'm in the Marine Corps Infantry. No disrespect to any of the other branches but I can't stand to do any pussy ass job (MOS)/branch. As far as doing something that will get you a job in the outside world....I think that's BS!!! There's plenty of jobs out there that pays well...Ya'll just need to think outside the box.

ok here we go, here starts the age old argument between combat arms and POGS. I dont buy into the 'infantry are dumb' bs. Im a scout and yes you dont have to be smart to get the job. To do the job and do it well you have to be smart and versitile. Ive seen many a smart guy go to shit while getting shot at. For combat arms you need to be able to react and prioritize many different assets in a time critical enviorement. Plus who joins the armed forces to sit at a desk. I have many stories not one involves air conditioning, a chow hall or showers. Join combat arms and all you need are your boots screw the airforce
